part 4
1700 hours
at the camp
After an initial jockeying for an advantage in their ten mile hike Harm and Mac settled down to walking together and occasionally holding hands. Three hours later they arrived at the camp.
They walked over to the main building to get direction to find their cabin. They walked along a trail by the lake for a half a mile before coming to their cabin. It was one hundred feet from the lake.
“This is a nice little cabin. Gunny did a good job arranging this for us. Chloe, why don’t you help me put away the gear and get the rooms ready for tonight. Harm can start a fire to cook dinner.” gushed Mac.
“Okay Sarah I’ll help you out.” smiled Chloe.
This is going to be so cool as she put another film pack into her camera. She had shot some film while they were flying. She also got Harm helping Mac down from the plane and the ensuing eye to eye contact as Harm held Mac in his arms. She also got some footage of the hike. All in all a pretty good day.
“Aye, aye ninja girl. Your wish is my command.” bellowed Harm as he gathered some wood for a fire.
Mac and Chloe walked inside the cabin. It had one main room and what appeared to be two bedrooms in the back. She was glad to see indoor plumbing.
“It looks like there are only two bedrooms in this cabin.” smiled Mac as she looked at Chloe.
“I guess I will take the small room with the small bed. You and Harm can share the larger one.” replied Chloe with a smile. She wondered how Mac would deal with only one bed.
“Hmm ..... This is interesting Chloe. There appears to be only one bed in here.” commented Mac.
She wondered what Chloe was up to. She remembered telling Chloe to get a cabin with three beds.
“Well how many beds do most married couples need to sleep in Mac. This is supposed to be a family vacation, one mother, one father, and one child.” giggled Chloe.
“Since I have never been married before I don’t know the answer of how many beds are needed. But I’m sure that you are right again. I don’t know what Harm is going to say.” replied Mac quickly.
She didn’t want to give Chloe the satisfaction of knowing that she was nervous about the possibility of spending the night sleeping in Harm’s arms.
“Well I don’t think he will mind. I’m sure he’s going to be very please to share a bed with his new bride all snuggled up in his arms. After all this is your wedding day. You should spend it together.” replied a smug Chloe as she looked at Mac and giggled.
“Okay that’s enough young lady, why don’t you go out and help Harm with dinner.” responded Mac.
What a precocious child. She definitely has a one track mind when she’s with me. Oh well, I might as well make it as homey as I can.
Chloe went outside to help Harm get dinner ready. They had a good time together preparing and cooking the meal. Chloe loved the feeling of being wanted by Harm and Harm loved the energy level and appreciation he got from Chloe.
Later Mac came out of the cabin. She had changed into a pair of blue shorts and light blue blouse.
“Well something smells really good tonight. What are we having Harm?” asked Mac coyly.
“As if you didn’t know Ninja girl. You pack all the food items.” smiled Harm as he took in how beautiful Mac look.
It always amazed him how she could take a few pieces of clothing and make it look like a work of art.
“We are having Harm beef burgers with coleslaw and brown bread.” yelled out Chloe.
“Hmmm, that sounds good. I know you like hamburgers Harm. I’ve talked with your mother on more than a few occasions. She told me that you didn’t get as big as you are now by being a vegetarian. She said you always ate everything that was put on your plate and then some when you were growing up.” smiled Mac.
“That was a long time ago Ninja girl. That was when I didn’t know any better. I do now. I need to treat my body as a temple if I want to stay healthy.” replied Harm with a big grin.
“I have to agree. You do have a nice body fly boy, but you didn’t get it by eating only vegetables. A little meat isn’t going to hurt you.” responded Mac.
“You’re right Sarah.” replied Harm as he shook his head.
After dinner Chloe offered “Sarah, I’ll clean up the dinner dishes. Why don’t you and Harm go for a walk.”
“That’s nice of you to offer, thank you Chloe. Harm would you like to go for a walk with me?” asked Mac with a smile.
“I would be very happy to go for a walk with you Sarah. I know the perfect trail to take. I was talking to a neighboring camper while I was gathering some fire wood. He suggested it to me.” Harm smiled deliciously to Mac.
Mac started to blush and her skin was getting all tingly. Harm had call her Sarah, her given name not Mac. Her knees buckled a little, she started to hyperventilate, and a smile appeared on her face.
“You called me Sarah, Harm.” replied Mac with surprised.
“Yes I did. We are away from office and everybody else. We are on vacation and I don’t want you to get confused, responding to two different names while you are here.
Your beautiful mind should be able to relax without additional distractions. Besides Sarah is a very beautiful name for a very beautiful lady.” smiled Harm as he complimented her while adding a touch of seduction.
“Thank you Harm. It is very nice of you to consider my mental well being. Are you sure that is the only reason or is it because you married me today and you love me?” replied a blushing Mac.
Now it was Harm's turn to blush “Of course I married you because I love you.” replied Harm with a big grin on his face
“Besides I had to make an honest woman out of you. After all we have a ten year old daughter.”
Harm and Chloe were laughing now. Harm had turned the table back on Mac.
“Very funny flyboy. Let’s go for that walk.” chuckled Mac.
She could never be mad at Harm. Not now that he was her husband. Harm and Mac went for their walk. The bantering going on between the Harm and Mac had amused Chloe. They really seem to be deeply in love and very happy.
She went into the cabin and added some romantic accessories to Mac and Harm’s bedroom. She covered the bed with some red and white rose petals she had left over from the wedding and placed scented candles around the bedroom that she had taken from Mac’s apartment.
She knew Mac would be very surprise, but very happy to see the additional touch she had added to the room.
During the next week Harm and Mac spent all their time together in the mornings canoeing. After dinner they would take long walks around the lake. They would talk and hold hands.
They were getting closer then at any other time that they had know each other. They were beginning to dread going back to work next week. The week they had spent together was so special they didn’t want to give it up.
During this time Chloe would play with the other children in the camp. In the afternoon Harm and Mac would spend more time with Chloe. They would go sailing or hiking.
Chloe filmed Harm and Mac doing all different actives together from eating meals to sailing to kissing. The first morning of the vacation together she filmed them while they were sleeping in bed together, as they woke up in each other’s arms and shared a kiss.
She filmed them eating breakfast in bed. She got them as they fed each other and kissed several times to Chloe's delight. Of course Harm and Mac were playing it up for Chloe, but they still were enjoying their time together.
This would make for a great film to watch later. During this time together she made sure that Harm and Mac were playing the role of mother, father, husband, and wife bit to the hilt.
0900 hours Sunday
16 July 1999
at the camp
On the last day of vacation Harm and Mac had finished breakfast and were drinking some coffee. Chloe was in the cabin packing her gear. They had a long trip ahead of them and as much as they wanted to stay longer they needed to get an early start back.
“Harm, this has been a great week. I could stay like this forever. It’s going to be a shame to have to go back to work Monday. I’m so relax and at peace.” sighed Mac contently.
“I can relate to that Sarah. It has definitely been a great week. The company couldn’t have been better. Chloe was very good though a little annoying at times.
But once we got a hang of playing the roles of mother and father with her she was terrific to have around.” chuckled Harm.
“Yeah, she was a good kid. I’m going to miss her when she has to go back home to her grandparents. She did a great job planning this trip with Gunny. I really enjoy being here with you, going sailing, canoeing, and hiking.
But especially just talking to you without talking shop. It was great. I believe I have found the true meaning of happiness. Thank you Harm.” smiled Mac as she gave Harm a hug.
“Thank you too Sarah. I feel the same way. I think we should do this again sometime in the near future. But now we should gather up our gear and head back to the plane. We don’t want to get back too late. We still have to get ready for work Monday.” replied Harm.
“I don’t even want to think about going back to work tomorrow. So let’s forget about everything else and enjoy the rest of the day.” smiled Mac.
Chloe had been at the doorway in the cabin all this time listening to the conversation. She was very happy to hear that her plan had worked out so well. She hoped the next couple of surprises she had planned would work out as well.
1800 hours
at Mac’s Apartment
It had been a long day but they had finally arrived back at Mac’s place. They all were hungry. They were going to order a couple of pizzas.
Mac, Harm and Chloe went up to Mac’s apartment only to find a note on the door saying do not enter, apartment has been fumigated for insect and pest control, stay out till 18 July 2000.
“What are going to do now Sarah?” asked Chloe. She was quite surprise. She didn’t know Mac had bugs in her apartment.
“I’m not sure. I wasn’t aware they were going to fumigate my apartment while I was gone.” replied a perplexed Mac.
“I guess we can go over to my place. We can order in a couple of pizzas when we get there. We can figure out what to do then.” volunteered Harm.
“Sounds like a good idea.” replied Mac. What else could they do.
“Can I call Gunny when we get to your place Harm. I need him to pick up my film to develop.” begged Chloe. She wanted Gunny to get the film edited and combined with the rest of her film.
“Sure Chloe, He can joined us for some pizza and we can thank him for the wonderful job he did in assisting you with all the preparations for last week.” replied Mac as she put an arm around Chloe.
2000 hours
at Harm’s apartment
Gunny met them over at Harm’s place. Harm invited him to stay and have some pizza. Harm and Mac wanted to thank him for the great job he did arranging their vacation and the activities that were provided for them. He had done an excellent job.
“Thank you Gunny for all the preparations you did for us. We had a great time at the camp. I also want to thank you for moving my gear over here so that I will have something to wear to work tomorrow.” smiled Mac.
“It was an honor and pleasure to do it for you and the Commander, Ma’am. You both have treated me very well and made me feel welcomed. You got me a great job here that I enjoy.
It was only fitting that I could assist you both by planning your time away. Chloe, I will have your film developed and edited for you by Monday at 0900 hours. See you then. Bye everyone.” replied Gunny.
2200 Hours
at Harm’s apartment
Chloe had fallen asleep on the couch. She was exhausted from the day’s activities. Mac pulled a blanket over her. Mac was quite tired as well.
She went upstairs and stripped it down. She then hopped into bed with Harm. She draped an arm over Harm and snuggled closed. Harm turned over and gazed into her eyes as she looked at him.
“This is a pleasant surprise Ninja girl. I didn’t know what to expect when we got back from our little excursion.” chuckle Harm softly.
“To be quite honest with you Harm, I’ve gotten so use to sleeping in your arms at night the past week I don’t know if I could fall asleep any place else.
I just automatically came up here to bed with you without thinking. I don’t know what I’m going to do when my apartment is ready for occupation again.” sighed Mac wishfully.
“Well we don’t have to worry about that tonight. Let’s just enjoy our time together. We can deal with that later. Good night Sarah.” replied Harm with a small kiss to her forehead.
“Good night Harm.” replied Mac as she closed her eyes.
They fell asleep together in each other’s arms. Each dreaming about how lucky they had been the past week and how it would be nice if it could last forever.

0900 hours
Monday 17 July
at JAG headquarters
Gunny rounded up the JAG staff and all the guests. He took a head count to see if everyone was here. Everyone was here. He informed them that they had been invited to view a very special film.
It would be shown shortly after the Commander and Colonel arrived. Everyone was required to stay and watch. Coffee and cake would be served afterwards.
Harriet, the snoop, wanted to know what the film was about. Gunny told her to be patience. She would find out soon enough and that she would enjoy the film.
0930 hours
at JAG headquarters
The next morning Harm, Mac, and Chloe arrived at Jag together. They were wondering why there were so many people were milling around. Chloe ran off to see Gunny and talk to him about what was happening.
After Harm and Mac had checked out their offices they noticed Harm's parents and Uncle Matt were there. Senator Laythem, Clayton Webb, and Commander Parker were also present. What’s going on wondered Harm and Mac?
Meanwhile Harriet and Caroline Imes noticed something different about Mac’s uniform. They noticed Mac’s nametag didn’t look right. MacKenzie was a long name that filled up most of the name tag.
But the name tag Mac was wearing only had a couple letters on it. They were puzzled. They walked over and took a closer look. It said RABB. What could this mean? Could it be that they had gotten married while they were away?
They pulled Mac aside to talk to her.
“Well, well, well what do we have here Harriet?” asked Carolyn as she moved her head back and forth in front of Mac.
“I don’t know Ma’am.” smiled Harriet with a smirk.
“What are you two talking about?” asked a bewildered Mac.
Have they gone nuts while I was gone? Carolyn put her hand under her chin and rubbed it.
“You look kind of familiar. We had a marine working here a couple of weeks ago name Mackenzie. You look like her but you have a different name.” responded a bemused Carolyn. This is going to be so much fun thought Carolyn.
“What are you talking about?” asked Mac again more puzzled then ever.
“Didn’t you look closely at your uniform this morning Sarah? You have a different name tag on it. Did you sleep in your own bed last night?” laughed Carolyn and Harriet at Mac’s discomfort.
Mac looked at her name tag. “RABB” To say she was surprise was an understatement. She blushed a nice shade of crimson. She must have grabbed one of Harm’s tags this morning.
“Someone must be playing a joke on me since I went on vacation with Harm last week. And before you say anything we were chaperone.” stated Mac as if she was trying to hide something.
Carolyn and Harriet were like barracudas. They could smell the blood in the air. They knew something definitely was up between Mac and Harm.
“Huh, huh. Well did you have a good time with the Commander, Sarah?” smiled Carolyn.
Harriet was giggling. She was truly enjoying this cross examination. She could see Mac beginning to squirm.
“Yes I did. We went camping. We stayed in a small cabin by the lake.” replied Mac.
“Sounds so romantic Carolyn.” sighed Harriet.
“What? No, it was not that kind of a vacation Harriet. We took Chloe along with us, remember?” replied Mac in a panic.
“Why are you getting so defensive Sarah?” pried Carolyn aggressively.
Mac looked around the room. Where was Harm when she needed him. He should be here to answer their questions too.
“I’m not being defensive.” replied Mac.
“What did you two do while you were there?” asked Harriet coyly.
“We went sailing, canoeing and took long walks. We talked a lot too.” responded Mac.
Why are they doing this to me on a Monday morning? I haven’t even had a chance to go to the break room to get a cup of coffee. thought Mac to herself.
“I think you’re right Harriet. It does sound so romantic.” sighed Carolyn to Harriet who also sighed.
“You two are unbelievable.” replied Mac blushing. “I need a cup of coffee.”
0945 hours
at JAG headquarters
“May I have you attention please. The guests of honor have arrived. Will everyone please take a seat. Commander, Colonel please sit here. Thank you.
We have a film today that was provided to us by a special young lady. She would like to share it with all of us. So will everyone please sit back and enjoy this very special film. I hope you all enjoy it.” greeted Gunny.
The film started with a view of the outside of a church. The film moved along into the church. There Commander Rabb could be seen standing by the altar with the Reverend Johnson in his dress whites.
There was some hooting and hollering by members of the audience. They were very surprised to see Harm in a church with his dress whites on. He was looking towards the back of the church.
Chloe was seen walking down the aisle wearing a white dress with red roses on it. She was tossing red and white rose petals as she walked down the aisle.
In the background someone yells out “Your daughter is adorable Harm.” Harms smiled.
Colonel MacKenzie followed Chloe down the aisle on the arm of Gunny in his dress blues. The Mac was wearing a very beautiful wedding gown. She looked fantastic. Everyone expressed surprise and pleasure at how beautiful she look.
“WOW!” Someone commented “It’s about time Rabb.”
The film flashed back to Harm. He had a stun look on his face as if he couldn’t believe how beautiful the Colonel looked.
The film broke away to Harm being interviewed by Chloe.
“When did you first realize that you were in love with Sarah?” asked Chloe.
“When I saw her for the first time in the White House Rose Garden. She seemed to be a square away young marine who could keep me in line. I knew I wouldn’t be able to get anything by her with just a smile, amazing charms, and good looks.
I knew I would have to earn her respect and confidence if I was going to have any kind of relationship with her.” replied Harm with a smile.
“When did you know you wanted her to be with you for the rest of your life?” asked Chloe.
“When we got back from Russia. I knew then she would support me in anything I ever did, go anywhere to be with me, and she would do anything to be there for me without any questions to the contrary.
I knew then that she accepted me for who I was and not for whom others wanted me to be.” replied Harm seriously.
“What are some of her redeeming qualities that are endearing to you and that you admire the most?” asked Chloe.
“She is a very beautiful and intelligent young lady. She is loyal, supportive, and hard working. She has worked hard to become a better lawyer forcing me to become even better myself.
She has followed me all over the world covering my six, helping me to make the critical decisions enabling us to find solutions to the problems that we come across in our investigations.
She has been very supportive with my needs and obsessions. She doesn't past judgment or criticizes me about them. She always supports the decisions I make.
She also keeps me honest. She doesn’t let me get too full of myself. She keeps me grounded and in place. She is the most wonderful person I’ve ever known or worked with.” replied Harm with a tear in his eye.
Everyone in the room at this time was smiling at the wonderful things that Harm was saying about the Mac. They could see how much Harm loved Mac, the emotions, sincerity, and total honesty. They gave him a small ovation when he was done.
The film moves on to showed Mac finishing her walk down the aisle to the front of the church where Gunny gave her hand to Harm. He walked over to stand by Chloe. Mac smiled at Harm. She looked to be very nervous but very happy.
The film breaks away to show Mac’s interview with Chloe.
“When did you first realize that you were in love with Harm?” asked Chloe.
“When I saw him in the White House Rose Garden for the first time. He was standing there looking into my eyes as though he was connecting to my soul. It was like he knew me inside and out.
He was so tall and handsome with sparking blue eyes. When he smiled at me with his big fly boy grin I felt my knees buckle. I knew he was something special.
Even though I told him that gold wings on dress whites had no affect on me, I was lying only to myself. Because my heart almost stop when he gave me his fly boy grin.” sighed Mac.
“When did you know you wanted him to be with you for the rest of your life?” asked Chloe.
“When I went to Russia with him to find his father. Every time we came upon a potentially harmful situation he would offer me a chance to back out, to go home. He showed that he cared for my well being each time.
And when he defended me after killing Chris, he did so without any questions of my guilt. I knew then that he would do anything to take care of me. He must truly believe in me to do that.” replied Mac.
“What are some of his redeeming qualities that are endearing and special to you?” asked Chloe.
“Well he is tall and very good looking with gorgeous blue eyes that sparkle. He also has a great smile that makes my knees buckle every time I see him.
I hate to admit this especially to Harm, he does take my breath away when he’s in his dress whites and gold wings.
He has been a great mentor. I thought I was a pretty good lawyer when I got here, but after watching and working with Harm the last three years, I know that I have become a much better lawyer, I have improved so much.
He also has allowed me to grow as a lawyer and as a person. Before I would be second chair to him but now I know he has the confidence to allow me to be first chair.
He is also a very good listener. He understands me and my problems. He has made me to deal with them and put them in the past where they belong. He has help me to believe in myself so that I believe that I’m worthy and deserving of good things happening to me.” smiled Mac.
Everyone in the room at this time was smiling at the wonderful things that Mac was saying about the Harm. They could see how much Mac loved Harm, the emotions, sincerity, and total honesty. They gave her a small ovation when she was done.
The film returned to Mac smiling at Harm. They turned to Reverend Johnson. He began the service. Then the time came for Harm and Mac to say their vows.
“Sarah, I take thee to be my wife. I promise to take care of and support you the way you have done for me the last three years. I will continue to allow you to grow as a person so that you can fulfill your own potential.
I love you so very much. You have been the best partner I’ve ever had. I would love you to be my partner in life forever. I know that you will be a great wife and mother. You have made me a better person just because I’ve known you and love you.” vowed Harm.
“Harm, I take thee to be my husband. I promise to take care of and support you the way you have done for me the last three years. When I first came here I had low self esteem.
I didn’t believe I was deserving of love and support, I didn’t believe I deserve anyone, but you have shown me that I am a deserving individual, who has the right to expect a loving and supportive relationship.
For this I am truly grateful to you. I will continue to support your decisions to take care of your obsessions like finding your father and flying f-14’s. I love you so very much.
You have been the best partner I’ve ever had. I would love you to be my partner in life forever. I know that you will be a great husband and father. You have always made me a better person just because I’ve known you and love you.” vowed Mac.
“I pronounced you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” ordered Reverend Johnson.
Harm wrapped his arms around Mac’s waist while she wrapped hers around his neck. They kiss for about fifteen seconds. The audience gave them a small ovation.
Someone yelled out again “I knew you could do it commander.”
Everyone laughed. Harm and Mac left the church and went through the arch of swords.
There was a slight pause before the film showed scenes from their Honeymoon. Mac was asleep in Harm’s arms. Her head was resting on Harm’s chest while his arms were wrapped around her. She had a smile on her face.
They awoke to the sound of a breakfast bell. They sat up in their bed. With breakfast served on a bed tray they start to feed each other while sharing a few kisses.
Later Harm and Mac are shown sailing together on the lake. It appeared Harm was giving Mac lessons on how to handle a boat. The last scene in the film has Harm and Mac walking hand in hand talking.
When the film ended everyone gave Harm and Mac a standing ovation and cheers.
Gunny went to the front of the room “I want to thank Chloe, who allowed us to share in the viewing of the Commander and Colonel’s wedding with us.
For those of you who are wondering was this for real? I have the marriage certificate signed by the honorable Reverend Johnson. It said that they are husband and wife.
So let’s all stand and applaud the newly weds Commander Harmon and Colonel Sarah Rabb.”
The Gunny walked over to Harm and Mac and gave them the marriage certificate. He shook the Commander’s hand and kissed the Colonel on the cheek. Everyone stood and gave them a standing ovation.
Mac was blushing now. She was a little stun. Soon everyone else joined them congratulating them and wishing them a bright future together. She turned to Harm.
“Harm I thought this was only a pretend military wedding for Chloe's school project, when did it turn into the real thing?” asked a stunned and confused Mac.
“I don’t know, but I can give you an educated guess who is responsible for it.” smiled Harm.
“Chloe!” they both said at the same time.
“What are we going to do about this Harm?” asked a concerned Mac.
“I don’t think we can do anything about it right now. Everyone is so happy for us Sarah. I kind of like having you as my wife. We can talk about everything later at my place.” replied Harm.
“Did you mean everything you said on the film Harm?” asked Mac hopefully.
“Yes, everything I said, I meant from the bottom of my heart and soul.” replied Harm as he drew Mac to him as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Well I meant everything I said too. Maybe we should let things be for now. Maybe we are where we are supposed to be at this time in our lives. I love you Harm.” exclaimed Mac.
“I love you too, Sarah.” replied Harm as they shared a kiss.
Harm’s parents and Mac’s Uncle Matt and mother walked over to them. They hugged and kissed them and congratulate them for the lovely surprise wedding and for sharing it with them through the film.
They all asked for a copy of the film. Harm’s mother told Mac how beautiful she looked in her wedding gown, and how happy she was to have her joined the family. Mac thanked her and saw her mother.
Her mother told her that she was so happy to see Mac looking so beautiful and happy in the film. It pleased her to know that she married a man who made her so happy. Someone who would understand and accept her for who she was.
All of their friend and co-workers came over and hugged and kissed them and congratulate them. Harriet was bubbling, she was so happy for them. Almost as happy as when she got married.
She turned to Bud and said “I told you that they were in love with each other.”
“But you said they weren’t aware of being in love with each other. We have clearly seen here today that it was love at first sight. They just weren’t as capable as we were to express it to each other.” replied a smug Bud.
“We’ll talk later, Harm.” the Admiral told Harm as he congratulated the happy couple.
“Harm, you’re the luckiest man in the world. I truly envy you.” smiled Webb as he shook Harm’s hand.
After everyone congratulated Harm and Mac, Gunny walked back to the front of the room and announced that the wedding cake, punch, and coffee were ready to be served. Harm and Mac shared the first slice together.
After everyone had enjoyed some cake and beverage, the Admiral bellowed out “Everyone, my house, Saturday 1400 hours, reception for Harm and Mac, be there. Ham and Mac take the rest of the day off and spend it with your families.”
The End
